Thailand seeks use of Lao airport for travel to Mukdahan province


BANGKOK: The Thai Transport Ministry has planned to negotiate with Laos for the use of Savannakhet Airport to facilitate travel to Mukdahan province, rather than constructing a new airport.

Transport Minister Suriya Jungrungreangkit said on Monday (April 28) that the plan was proposed following a meeting of the joint public-private sector committee addressing economic challenges in Upper Northeastern Provinces 2 (Sakon Nakhon, Nakhon Phanom, and Mukdahan).
